[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 250259, member: 1640"] A friend of mine who is African-American, has been stopped, not once but twice, for jogging in his own neighborhood. The first time it happened we joked about the new category of being stopped for JWB (jogging while black). The second time it happened they threw him up against the patrol care and hand cuffed him. Because he was a well known Methodist minister in town higher ups in authority were able to stop things before they got ugly. He was lucky. My fear is that a lot of white people do not understand how common an experience this is for black people. I also regret that they seem to pass it off as no big deal whereas if it happened to them they would be outraged at the government and screaming to high heaven. It is a telling double standard. If you are white you are allowed to complain that the country is going to hell in a hand basket. If you are black you are told to shut up and that this is a country that holds no one back and you should just be grateful to live here. [/QUOTE]
